CVE-2024-57948 Affecting kernel-rt package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt package and not the kernel-rt package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mac802154: check local interfaces before deleting sdata list

syzkaller reported a corrupted list in ieee802154_if_remove. [1]

Remove an IEEE 802.15.4 network interface after unregister an IEEE 802.15.4 hardware device from the system.

CPU0 CPU1 ==== ==== genl_family_rcv_msg_doit ieee802154_unregister_hw ieee802154_del_iface ieee802154_remove_interfaces rdev_del_virtual_intf_deprecated list_del(&sdata->list) ieee802154_if_remove list_del_rcu

The net device has been unregistered, since the rcu grace period, unregistration must be run before ieee802154_if_remove.

To avoid this issue, add a check for local->interfaces before deleting sdata list.
